Summary of reaserch and Analysis of narrative


Analysis of narrative

1.
The story deals with a girl overcoming despair. The story is told through her personal objects of her past up to the point of her depressive state. As the story would be in the point of view of these objects it is limited omniscient. The story follows through Freytag's pyramid.

2. The narrative has changed a lot more, where we have it, that the girl is dressed in black, and is in a room, a conversation can be heard coming from downstairs hinting that someone has died and is preparing to go to a funeral. The girl begins to explore the room, and she opens up the drawer and finds a journal inside. She discovers that it is her sisters journal and beginds to read it.

She skips through the first few pages and begins to read  about her sisters thoughts of the important times they spent together, as she is reading through, the girl seems to become a bit more cheerful again, until she reaches the entry of her sister complaining about the fight they had. This makes her depressed again and out of rage throws down the book, it goes to the final entry and she reads that her sister wanted her not to be angry about what has happened and this gives the girl hope again and gives her a sense of forgiveness from her sister, and she finally leaves the room.

The film will deals with Death, Acceptance, Hope and Forgiveness.
The conflict within the story is of man versus self, as it is only until the girl in the story learnt to forgive herself that she was able to move on from what happened.

The point we also wanted to pull out from the drama was, that after difficulties and hard times, we usually are able to pick ourselves up and move on, and that things usually get better.

Like a french saying: Apres la pluie, le beau temps.
meaning after the rain good weather.

What is a short film?



How to say I love you



This is a short film from a youtube group called Pretend we don't exist productions. The story introduces two characters, a man and woman who meet in the park through awkward circumstances, and end up falling in love.

I really enjoyed the new take on two people falling in love as it was strange and in normal situations, the man would have been straight away labeled as a pervert or some one with ill intentions, but both characters were witty and comical and still had a very sweet feeling to it.
